What a great way to end an Around the World trip. Paris felt like coming home, and now I'm in Lille, in the north of France, where I'm currently watching my granddaughter, Sophie, build mighty towers out of wooden blocks. What more could I ask for?
I shall try to take some pictures of this incredible city, which I imagine most of you are not familiar with. It's an hour north of Paris, a half hour from Brussels, and an hour and a half from London. Cobblestone streets, and beautiful stone houses.
A word about my travel mates. I was lucky enough to have the best travel partners you could imagine. Always ready for an adventure, always with a smile - or even a lift, if it was too high to jump. Spending all that together time would not have worked with people who were less flexible, less willing to go with the flow. This worked..... marvelously. It was much more than I could have imagined. Thanks J&J.

What better way to end the trip than to see your granddaughter!
The three of you helped pass a cold, colorless winter. Did you buy a lot of souveniers? If you feel ambitious, I'd love to see more pics.
Will you keep the blog going or use e mails from now on?
We didn't buy "souvenirs" per se, but we were definitely happy to purchase local work - scarves, skirts, gorgeous alabaster vases for Judith, and a beautiful parasol for Julie.
Interestingly enough, we've had several inquiries as to whether the blog would continue. Although it can't be "Around the World 2009", much longer, I am definitely sad to see it end, so maybe there will be some sequels? Any ideas or comments are welcome.
